We had a practice lesson of 2/1 bidding and play in Advanced Beginners class and discussed opening weak and responding to weak opening bids in Beginners class.  Next week we will introduce Drury in advanced beginners class and takeout doubles in beginners class.

We had 7.5 tables in the pupil game (a record for the past year, if not longer).  I want to thank everyone for their understanding with having a playing director/instructor with so many tables. We still finished around 3 o'clock, so all went well.  I hope we continue to have this many and more tables, although someone should remind me to play 6 rounds of 3 so we don't have to share boards.

The winners today were Jan and Jean with a whopping 67.02%! (They took the special prizes, I still have two or three sets left, so you could still win one.)  Martha and Donna came in second with a very nice 59.73% and right one their heels was the Gerri/Kathy duo with 58,51%.  I had a great time, even if it didn't look like it, as I felt a bit frazzled with the board sharing.  Thank you for minimizing the director calls, it really helped.

See you all next week! ---Carl
